People were still taking shelter from the rain outside the glass windows, and the barbecue shop was still busy.
The drinkers were still laughing, the people arguing next to them were still arguing, and the woman at the other table was still holding her crying child and coaxing her. Nothing seemed to have changed.
Everyone looked normal, except for their table, whose faces were blue and white, and everyone was broken down in their own way.
Tang Rou picked up her phone and looked at it. The time was still the same as before. They had been in the different world for so long, and they had only blinked in the real world.
Everyone checked their confessions and found out that almost everyone was chased and chased by unknown creatures in that terrifying alien world.
It happened that the waiter came to serve the food, and Abel stopped him and asked hastily, "Did your store just have a power outage?"
The waiter looked confused and said, "No, the power supply has always been stable."
Abel rushed out again and asked the private room next door, "Did you just see it? There are a lot of sticky things and monsters here!"
A grinning voice came from the side, "Brother, did you lose the truth or dare game?"
No one believed it, apparently only their table had entered that terrible world.
Abel walked back blankly and sat down.
After a while, he said, "I dreamed that I became a two-dimensional creature, living in a billboard..." He raised his head and glanced at Tang Rou, "I also dreamed of you..."
He hesitated to speak, covering his face.
Tang Rou looked calm on her face, but felt a little panicked in her heart, "Ah, really? I don't seem to have dreamed about you."
Fortunately, Abel was immersed in fear and did not doubt her words.
Everyone's expressions were frightened, and it was obvious that they had experienced something horrific.
Tang Rou and Aslan were the only ones in the audience who didn't have such fear on their faces.
Aslan's eyes were red, with tears hanging on his eyelashes, and he was in a daze.
Tang Rou asked, "What's wrong with you?"
When Aslan heard this, he raised his head and frowned as if he had been woken up. He suddenly stood up and walked outside. After a while, he came back and sat down.
Tang Rou asked again in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Aslan shook his head, pretending to be relaxed, "I'm fine."
He said this, but his eyes were still searching around.
Most people are freed from dreams only after death.
Especially Abel, his expression could be described as worse than death, holding his head in pain.
"So what was that just now? Was it an illusion?"
I don't know who said, "It doesn't seem like..."
Everyone looked around and saw that the man raised his hand. There was an unknown object squirming between his fingers, and his exposed arm was covered with tiny wounds.
"The injury I just suffered is still there, and this..."
As soon as the slime-like creature was taken out, it seemed that it couldn't stand the light, and made a soft sound, turning into steam and floating in the air.
Li Qing finally managed not to vomit. Seeing that scene, he hugged the trash can again and retched.
After a long silence, Carter said, "We are all from the biological research company, or from the experimental base. I believe everyone can face this matter calmly and re-examine it in a rational way."
"Then do we need to report it?"
"You can report the wound first and let the base detect whether there is any infectious material left in the wound."
Only then did Tang Rou realize that everyone at the table had wounds of various sizes on their bodies. Except for the sticky substances from the other world, all the wounds on their bodies were there.
If there was anything different, it was that Aslan and she were both unscathed.
At this moment, a piercing siren sounded, with a sharp rhythm and a high frequency.
Tang Rou immediately recognized that it was an emergency evacuation warning from the city.
Immediately afterwards, the urban sound system in the streets and alleys rang out the mechanized voice of the announcer, without any warmth.
"Next, a tsunami level 1 red alert will be issued. Affected by the tsunami, tsunami wave heights of more than 200 centimeters are expected to occur at coastal tide gauge stations, and a level 1 tsunami disaster emergency response will be launched soon."
Mobile phone message notifications sounded one after another in the barbecue restaurant.
The government system sent an early warning message to every city citizen. Someone took out his mobile phone and read the content on it.
"The violent eruption of the Borsong submarine volcano triggered a transoceanic tsunami. A tsunami wave was just detected in the offshore waters of this area..."
Tang Rou turned off her phone, raised her head, and found that everyone's expressions were not right.
Li Qing's face turned ugly, "I saw this tsunami in my hallucination..."
Someone answered, "Me too..."
Tang Rou was shocked.
Carter looked serious, "If I remember correctly..."
The Huanhai Bridge on the edge of the city's seaside will be broken by the impact of this tsunami.
Countless buildings have collapsed and the city's power supply system is about to be paralyzed.
Are those things in dreams the future that has not yet happened?
There was a lingering coldness in everyone's hearts.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?" I don't know who said it.
But no one was in the mood to answer him.
Tang Rou didn't see the tsunami, but now she has a vague idea of it.
She fell asleep, and before falling asleep she heard the sound of roaring water and the sound of buildings collapsing.
Aslan held Tang Rou's hand under the table and shivered.
In response to the evacuation, everyone must return to high ground indoors before the tsunami arrives.
The lady left first, and the men were supposed to be sent home. However, the men at the table were subjected to varying degrees of inhuman torture, and it was obvious that they no longer had any strength.
Especially Abel, he didn't even have any clothes. As he walked out of the barbecue restaurant, he heard several female diners calling him a pervert.
On the contrary, Carter, who had been chatting with Aslan before, was relatively calm.
He rolled his eyes and volunteered, "Then let me take them two back." Then he asked, "You two are staying in the hotel apartment at the Babita base, right?"
Atherland nodded and suddenly turned into a lady again, "Then I'll trouble you."
"It's okay, no trouble."
He picked up his bag and walked ahead.
Atherland suddenly asked, "Did you meet anyone else in your dream?"
Tang Rou said nothing.
Carter also drove the car in silence, and the lights flowing outside the car window hit his face one after another, flickering brightly and dimly, with deep mottled patterns.
When he was approaching the Tower of Babel apartment, he suddenly said, "I saw it."
Aslan was stunned, "Did you see it? So there were really other people in the different world just now, right? I knew it..."
Carter added, "I don't know if I can call him a human, because the person I saw has been dead for many years."
Aslan suddenly stiffened.
What Carter didn't tell them was that when the man saw him, he knelt in front of him, hugged his legs, and the first thing he said was:
"Great, I finally met someone else."
His eyes were red, and he begged Carter, "Can you kill me?"
The car had turned into the gate of the Tower of Babel, and Aslan suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I want to go back."
Carter, who was in the front row, turned around when he heard the sound, "What's wrong?"
Aslan pursed his lips and said after a while, "I forgot something there."
Tang Rou grabbed her and said, "There is a tsunami warning. It is not safe. If you have anything to do, wait until tomorrow."
